Cheri Oteri
- Bio: Born in Upper Darby, PA, Cheri Oteri moved to Los Angeles at age 25, where she worked at A&M Records and eventually joined the famed comedy troupe The Groundlings. It was there that she was noticed by "Saturday Night Live" and was hired in 1995 as part of a nearly all-new cast. On SNL, she was known for playing myriad characters, including "Arianna," one half of "The Spartan Cheerleaders" alongside Will Ferrell. Oteri's dead-on impressions of Barbara Walters, Mariah Carey, Robin Byrd and Judge Judy also bolstered her fame. Since Oteri left SNL, she has appeared in several movies, including Scary Movie, Inspector Gadget, Liar Liar, Shrek the Third, and Surveillance, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2008. Her other television credits include guest spots on "Strangers with Candy," "Just Shoot Me," "Curb Your Enthusiasm," and "Boston Legal." She is currently starring in "Liza The Lifecoach" for AMC.
